I bought a laptop through facebook marketplace. The person then deletes their facebook account and sent me a fake tracking number that hasn't updated. I paid through paypal but since the invoice was sent through facebook, I was unable to dispute the charge there. What are my options? This was around $1200... I have removed the funds from the bank account so that at the very least it bounces. I have contacted paypal, they said I am basically SOL and to contact AUP. I have, but what will even come from that? I really can not afford to just lose $1200. Please help.
